Education sor Work or for culture.

Much as we may talk Of education of
the mind" and discipline of the faculties"
the education of boys and young men has
mainly been dominated by practical ends.
We are far from saving that those ends
have always been wisely sought: we sim
ply contend that in general they have been
recognized. When young man has been
destined tor the bar, for the church, for the
profession of medicine, or for some scen-
ufc or literary career, there has been
special object in giving him as liberal a
preliminary education as possible, and
such courses of higher education as have
heretofore been devised have had as their
main intention the fitting of men for pro-
fesslonal careers and not the mere produc-
ton OF large number of finely-polished
lntellects destined for no particular func-
ton whate er. 1t may be further said
that, in the education of men, the definite
ness of the Interior aim has been TO a large
extent the circumstance that has rendered
the lmparting of sound education possible
The mind can carry what it means to make
use OF, what it expects TO find seryiceable
far better than it can what does not point
10 any special application. The education
of men has thus been given a certain cor
rectness and a certain actually from the
Tact OF its bearing, or, at the very least, be-
ing understood to bear a distinct and
definite relation to practical life.
How is it, now, as regards the education
OF women? 1t is certainly true that women
are taking to-day much wider share in
the work OF the world than they did even a
generation ago. Many more careers are
open to them, and their ability to assume
even the most difficult professional duties
is no longer doubted. Manifestly, then, a
practical necessity has arisen for placing
within the reach of women the highest
educational advantages. 1t can hardly,
however, be maintained that the somewhat
clamorous demand that has been made of
late years on behalf of women for such
advantages has been mainly inspired by
the desire to enable women to hold their
own in various professional walks. The
object has rather been to produce genera
ton of gifted women, without reference to
any special practical use TO be made of
their high accomplishments. Culture {"
for cultures sake has been the idea, rather
than culture for the sake of more efficient
work" Higher Education Of JVon.en,n IN

A singular proof OF popular ignorance of
The starry heavens, as well as of popular
curiosity concerning any uncommon celes-
tial phenomenon, is furnished by the Gu
rious notions prevailing about the planet
Venus. When Venus began 10 attract gen.
era attention in the western sky in the
early evening some two months ago, specu-
lation quickly became rife about it, particu-
larry on the great Brooklyn bridge. AS
the planet hung dazzlingly bright over the
New Jersey horizon, some people appeared
to think it was the light of Liberty's torch,
mistaking the bronze goddess real fam
beau for part of the electric-light system
of the metropolis. Finally Ito Judge from
the letters written to the newspapers. and
the questions asked of individuals sup
posed to know something about the secrets
of the sky, the conviction seems to have
become pretty widely distributed that the
strange light in the west was no less than

information that this ridiculous notion has
been actually entertained by more than one
person of intelligence. And it is not i'm
probable, that as Venus CLOVIS with increas-
ing splendor in the serene evenings of June,

petty artificial light instead of the magnifi-
cent world that she is, sparkling out there

Rirth-Cnstnms in Transvlrania

By-anG-by, when few months have
passed over the head of the new-mar1ieG
couple, and the young matron becomes
aware that the prophecies pointed at by
the dolls cradle and the broken distaff are
likely to come true she is carefully in
structed as to the conduct she must OBJ
serve in order to insure the well-being OF
herself and her child.
In the first place, she must on no account
conceal her state, or deny it when interro-
gated on the subject-for if she do so, her
child will never learn to speak nor may
she wear beads on her neck, for that would
cause the infant to be strangled at its birth.
Carrying peas or beans in her apron will
produce malignant eruptions; and sweep
ing chimney will make the child narrow
breasted.
On no account should she be allowed TO
pull off her husbands boots, nor TO hand
him glowing coal to light his pipe; for
both these actions bring misfortune. In
driving to market she may not sit with her
back to the horses, nor may she ever drink
at the well out of wooden bucket.
Also, her intercourse with the pig-sty
listen too attentively TO the grunting of
pigs, her child will have deep, grunting
voice; and if she kick the swine or push
them away with her foot, the infant will
have bristly hair on its back Hair on the
face will be the result of beating a dog or a
cat, and twins will be the consequence OF
eating double cherries or sitting at the cor.
ner of the table.
During this time she may not stand god
mother to any other child, or else she will
lose her own baby, which will equally be
sure TO die if she walk round a newly -made
grave.
If anyone throw a flower suddenly al the
woman who expects 10 become mother,
and hits her with it on the face, her child
will have mole at the same place touched

DON'T WRITE RUSH,

Never write rush across the fare of q

than accelerate its dispatch EMPLOYEES of
telegraph offices pay no more attention 10

than Postotfice men do to letters marked

used TO treat rush messages in the West

would come in and want dispatch showed
through in hurry. He would write rash
across Its face, thinking that would help it
along. Now, the idea of such thing.
Just as if everything wasn't rushed in a
telegraph office-that is, if left to itself.
The boys look upon anything like that al
most as personal affront. What is the
consequence? The receiving clerk takes
the message, frowns a little when the
rush comes to view, receives the money,
says all right and the sender walks ont
complacently. Then the clerk picks mn
the dispatch again, looks it over SLOWLY.

or three other persons come in and he laws
aside the rush to wait on them Finally

the rush at the bottom, and hands the

penmanship on it tdoes the Spencerian act,
you know, takes his time in recording it
in fact, does everything but rush it. From
the desk OF the record clerk the messages
are given to the operators by the file boy.
He, too, has great anupathy for rush
messages. If all the operators are not at
leisure he supplies those who are from the
top of the pile and sticks the rest on a
hook. If there is a rush in the lot it al
ways goes on the hook. The upshot of the

LUNAR PRoBABILITIEs.-Thew weather pre-
dictions of the early part of the century
were furnished by the almanacs according
to table constructed on philosophical
principles" This table simply showed the
weather that would follow changes of
the moon at the different hours of the day.
The absurdity of this ruhbish-in which
there are unfortunately still many be-
lievers-is evident VIXEN it is considered
that the moon is changing continually and
steadily, and not at quarter-monthly inter
walls. That there is no connection what
ever between the moons phases and the
weather has been shown in France and
England by the most elaborate COMPARE
sons of meteorological records. in which
the Greenwich observations for forty years
were carefully collated with the moons
phases for that period. The solitary OBJ
servable effect of the moon upon our at
mosphere was believed by Sir John Her
schel to be 4 tendency to the disappearance
Of clouds under the full moon, and this he
attributed to the heat radisted from its sur
face. Theoretically the moon should pro-
duce slight tides in our atmosphere twice a
day, and Professor Daniel has been able to
detect these tides by close baron etrical OBJ
servatioa. No further influence can be
discovered, ana it may be taken as o set.
tle'3 fact thst the moon no more affects cur
weather than the SUMS passage Of The
equator produces "equinoctiar' sta,ms. -
